LMFT, LCADC
Thank you for visiting my website. I understand how challenging it can be to start therapy, and I commend you for taking this important first step. If you're seeking to improve your relationships, overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse, or addiction, I would be honored to help you on your journey.
ABOUT ME
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor. Currently, I serve as a supervisor with both Boards. I have maintained a private practice in Las Vegas, NV, since 2018, though I began my career 18 years ago working in mental health agencies and non-profit organizations.
I have a deep appreciation for diversity and embrace it with grace. I am passionate about working with individuals who seek to heal their emotional wounds and improve their overall happiness. My extensive training in trauma, sexual abuse, and PTSD helps me focus on building safe and trusting therapeutic relationships. I use a combination of evidence-based approaches, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, CBT, EFT, EMDR, mindfulness techniques, somatic interventions, and breathing and grounding exercises, to help clients self-regulate their emotions and achieve their life goals.
In addition to my practice, I am dedicated to the field of substance use disorders and addictions. I currently serve as President of the Nevada Board of Examiners for Drug and Alcohol Counselors. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, embracing nature through hiking or practicing yoga. I also love good food, traveling, and spending quality time with family, friends, and my fur babies.
